Isoflurane's Ca2+ effects in animal myocardium are hypothesis-generating; leaves open human translation and clinical relevance.
Isoflurane depresses myocardial contractility through a combination of reducing the intracellular calcium transient and altering sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release.
Jiang et al. (1998) studied this question.
